It's Hump Day, and Europe Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Atelier Cologne Iris Rebelle, again. I am still out of town, and may not be able to post again until tomorrow.
Reminder: 5/11 will be Musk Friday...you know what to do!
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2018, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Today I’m in Mugler Cologne. This is just what I needed for a day that started off warm and which is just going to get hotter. This is from a travel size bottle sent me by a generous NSTer. It’s my first time to wear it and it is a pretty, classic-smelling cologne.
Chiming in very late to say you smelled great today, & maybe I will go with Cologne tomorrow.
Apres l\’Ondee from a generous NSTer, and I finished this decant already! Sprayed with a heavy hand
Off to Sotheby’s later today to look at some art and a beautiful Modigliani
I went to a wonderful Modigliani exhibition at the Tate Modern in April, many of the paintings were on loan from private and public collections in you’re part of the world, it was very special.
Enjoy Sotheby’s!
Thank you!
I have a long neck like a Modigliani painting… so I am happy he found that party of a woman’s body attractive!
I love Apres l”ondee but it takes such a heavy hand for me to be able to smell it that I’d go through a bottle in weeks.
I did get my Meteorites home fragrance in the mail just before I left to go out of town but didn’t have time to really try it out. I’m hoping it will be the Guerlain violet that works for me.
(I don’t know if it’s supposed to be identical to the newly released perfume, but I did pick up a bit of a fruity note when I sprayed it…)
I must of missed this? Is this a new perfume?
Link to description of the new perfume: https://nstperfume.com/2018/04/19/guerlain-meteorites-le-parfum-new-fragrance/
But the home scent is intriguing me!
Oh wow, Modigliani, Is it a painting or drawing?
Wearing lots of pink today, so I paired that with SSS Rose Musc, which always makes me feel princess-y
It is such a lush, princessy scent
That’s my planned scent for this Friday!
In SL A la Nuit for a perfect spring day!
Hope things are going ok with Robin.
A la Nuit is drop dead gorgeous! You are smelling fantastic.
I found it very powdery today. I think my nose or brain are playing tricks with me. I do not remember a powder note in A la Nuit.
How odd! I don’t recall a powder note in A la Nuit either.
Thank you perfumelover67! I am ok. And keep reminding myself that things could be WAY worse
Bulgari Black!
Yay! You smell wonderful.
Thanks!
Good morning Y’all!
Wearing Commodity Velvet today and loving it! This was my April Scentbird pick, and I’ve worn it several times already. I’m guessing it will be amazing this fall/winter!
I’m keeping it very light today, as it’s (be kind to your) PT day. ????
One spray of SL Clair de Musc and some oatmeal and honey goats milk hand cream.
Y’all have a good one! ????
Oh, ha! I read that as “oatmeal with honey goats milk” and thought, “mmm, that sounds tasty!”
Well, I agree, it does sound tasty! ????
I had the same thought
Yeah, my word usage was a little off kilter. ????
Like kpaint, I thought you were eating fancy good for you oatmeal! I use unscented Dionis Goat Milk hand cream which I “discovered” at a boutique in Alaska. I found out later on that Ulta carries it and I stocked up. I refer to it as my most expensive hand cream because were it not for my trip to Alaska, I would not have known about this particular product!
I picked up my hand cream at the farmers market last month. They had a rose scented one that is just divine. ????
Good luck with your PT today!
Thanks, it was a good session!
Good morning everyone!
Today I’m waiting out my car repairs. Went with some vintage Samsara. I find it beautiful without being too complex or dramatic.
Vintage Samsara is so good. You do smell beautiful!
I found a mini of 90’s EdT in the red bottle and it was already so shrill. My clear bottle is much much better.
Vintage Samsara sounds wonderful.
It is! And not too hard to find I think.
SotM = L’air du desert marocain, just a dab on one wrist
Terracotta is on deck for this afternoon.
Found a very pretty Lime, Basil & Mandarin scented candle at Aldi for $5.99. I don’t burn candles but it smelled nice so I bought one. With the lid off the unlit candle scents a room. They also had English Pear & Freesia and Black Pomegranate candles.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, NST.
You smell wonderful!
I have that Jo Malone in Cologne and it’s one of my favorites from her, I bet the candle is lovely.
thanks, madtowngirl!
Lime, Basil & Mandarin is my favorite from JM too.
I saw an article about Aldi launching dupes of Jo Malone colognes, but I sure haven’t seen any at my store. I will buy every one if I ever spot ’em.
I will look for the candles! Are you in the US by chance?
hi Jada, I am in the US. Aldi here only has the candles. The store manager thought there were perfumes and lotions too, but only in Europe. Maybe next year!
Hi Tiffanie!
FOUND ‘EM! I am so psyched! They are amazing dupes for Jo Malone…I bought all 3 scents.
Thanks for posting about it!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BimnhhvnC00/?taken-by=jadainga99
Nice find! I am tickled pink with the stuff Aldi carries if you just know where to look. I’ve regretted not buying more of something I’ve enjoyed eating.
Aldi is fun. I try to go there when I have time to browse each aisle.
I love their dark chocolate and hazelnut bars. Oh, I’m kidding myself, I will happily eat any of the chocolate they import from Europe, it is so yummy.
Uh oh… dark chocolate and hazelnut bars are at Aldi? This is dangerous knowledge for me.
The bars look like they could be a pain to break off but they are actually 4 or 5 individually wrapped smaller bars.
It IS dangerous. Our whole family knows this to be true. The quality is excellent.
Dame New Musk Man Cologne.
Free donuts at work today, woo hoo!
Free donuts!! ????????
Dangerous! (Am I the only one who can’t eat just one donut?)
I’ve figured out how to eat just one only recently. It’s difficult, though.
The only way for me to not eat more than 1 is to eat none at all ???? ????
You are not alone. I try to refrain from going to the donut shop, because when I do, I always buy (and then eat, in rapid succession) at least 4 donuts.
I won’t tell you what my college housemate showed us when he got home from working at DD… (I still eat them though)
Donutssssssssssssssss!????????????????
Robin, hoping you’re out of town for a bit if R&R…
In BG body cream again. I have about half left and have made it my mission to finish it off in the next couple weeks, so my SOTD will be quite repetitive for the next little while.
I have a couple of days off and T-Rex (who also smells fab thanks to being freshly laundered yesterday!) and I are heading up the valley to do some exploration.
Happy Humpday all✌????
I like your new avatar!
Thanks! So many flowers here…!
Seconding liking the new avatar!! Have fun on your days off!
It’s a Flopper Flower Inspired Avatar????
Enjoy your exploration time with T-Rex.
Another one here who likes your avatar!
Thank you!
Very cool new avatar, Deva! What kind of flower is it?
It’s a rose, but I cropped it so just the innermost petals show. It was a gorgeous peach that faded to yellow at the base of the petals. The roses here are stunning.
I wish, but no! But hoping I will get some beach time later this month.
Your deserve your own beach! No, how about the whole island?! ????
Atelier Cologne day for me too!
Today will be Vanille Incensee in the morning and Rose Anonyme in the afternoon. Want to finish the samples
Rose Anonyme is TREMENDOUS. It’s the only Atelier that I thought was bottle-worthy. You’ll have a beautifully scented afternoon.
Rose Anonyme is nice, I must say.
I have only a few drops of vintage Aromatics Elixir left, and I’m wearing one of them. (At work!) it took me years to *get* it, possibly decades, but it’s SO GOOD. It’s not sexy or cheerful, it doesn’t perform any of the other usual functions of scent: it smells like chest-out chin-up shoulders-back confidence.
I humbly admit I still don’t really get it. But there is hope yet, right?
SSS Equestrian. One of my go-to spring scents. It’s a “dancing” day for my music class, so im getting a sweaty workout in, and my perfume is wafting up nicely.
I love that scent but only discovered it right before Laurie closed shop. You smell beautiful!.
Wearing vintage Bal a Versailles in honour of musk week.
Apparently, I think subtle is over-rated
Well, you smell great.
If you even own a bottle of vintage BaV then subtlety is not in your vocabulary. As you know. But when you smell that good, who cares?
Bal a Versailles is gorgeous. You smell great.
Vintage Bal is fabulous! You smell great!
I can smell you from Montréal.
You smell wonderful!
BaV is gorgeous, you smell wonderful!
Sampling MiN NY Ad Lumen – I’m really liking it, but I can barely smell it.
Well darn!
Sampling Rendezvous from DSH. I really love some of the things she does with animalic and this is getting added to the list
I’m wearing Jicky EDT today. I just really craved it, so I had to put it on. My grandfather wore Jicky, so I feel very comfortable and happy today.
You–and your grandfather–smell wonderful!
It’s gotten quite hot today, termometer is at 27*C. That’s way more than our usual May temperature.
I’m wearing Berdoues Peng Lai today and it’s very fitting for this kind of weather.
No 19 because it’s always right.
truth
Sure is!
Yep!
Always!
I did post a picture of the new puppy on my blog and wearing Shalimar Ode a la Vanille. I will be taking a shower soon and will be switching over to Chanel no 19 in edt form. Ever since that stupid hornet stung me on the top of my head, I’ve been a little wary of wearing Shalimar, vintage Bal and a couple others since they seem to be attracted to those.
Ouch, I hope the stingy critters stay away! You smell lovely in Chanel No. 19 though!
oh my. LOOK at that little pupper face!
Ouch! But you do smell great!
And what a cute pup!
That is such a cute little puppy face!
Adorable doggy!
Atelier Pomelo Paradis for today
That’s a very spunky scent. I think I just got one of my sisters hooked on it…
yummy, that one has the best citrus top note ever!
I am in Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDP. Loving this sensual blend of rose, musk and patchouli.
Fraternal twins! I’m in the EDT; saving the EDP for Friday. I think the EDP my favorite. It’s so soft and pretty.
A musk week would not be a musk week without at least one NR scent!
Chuffed by last night’s outing with Salome, this morning I’m wearing Sarrasins.
(For those of you concerned about the well-being of humans nearby, please note that I’m working alone in my office today.
)
Gorgeous! Salome is so beautiful, a co-worker wears it, I can always tell when she’s arrived at the office. Beautiful scent-trail.
Mmmm, that’s a great co-worker!
You smell great, your coworkers are missing out!!
Ah, thank you!
Agreed!
Sarrasins is lovely!
I chose By killians Dangerous Liasons today, as it’s one of the musciest perfumes I own. I don’t have any musc centric fumes, but I adore musc koubla Khan, and musc ravageur is really nice on my skin too.
I really like Dangerous Liaisons. You smell great!
Oh goodnessss…you smell very very good!????????????????
I didn’t realise that BK had musk. I do own that, now will have to put some on tomorrow.
I’m wearing Caleche because of Angela’s review yesterday (and because I love it) – anyone else?
I loved and wore it in the 80’s, don’t have any more though.
I’m wearing Assam of India. It’s sunny now but showers are forecast for later; I hope they stay away, I’d like to sneak in a hike this afternoon. I don’t mind getting wet but I hate cleaning muddy boots.
Hope the showers hold off for your hike! You smell great!
I’m in Narciso Rodriguez EDT. I have a sample pack with this, the EDP, and Fleur Musc. It’s a rare thing when I have enough of one category to participate in the project, even if I am cheating with all one line
Hey, that is not cheating at all!
Good morning all,
in Ann Gerard Cuir de Nacre because it smells good and I want to finish up another sample vial. Thanks to the generous NSTer who sent this!
I’m all dressed up because I’m going to be a “shark” for a mock shark tank classroom session, where students have to pitch us games they developed. Watched my first episode of the shark tank show last night and trying to copy some of that professional vibe.
I’m also headed to the Post Office today to send out my Seville a l’aube decants – I still have one 10ml “slot” open for $10.18 including everything (CONUS). elke dot schmeling aaatttt Geeeemaille…..
Happy Hump Day!
Yay so excited! Thank you for decanting!
that is a beautiful fragrance! It had zero longevity on me
now that you mention it….it’s faded quite a bit since I put it on about 4 hours ago. I don’t mind that too much – gives me an excuse to put on something new this afternoon!
I’m in MFK Aqua Universalis body lotion for my at home yoga practice. Then I will shower and be off to yet another job interview. Afterwards I will celebrate it being over with a spritz of Chergui. Why yes, yes I am a perfume nerd planning her day around scents.
Have a great interview!
Good luck with the interview!
Good luck with the interview!
Best of luck for the interview!
best of luck, and how wise to balance your day with pre-inteview yoga and post-interview celebrations!
Good luck!
Good luck!
I hope your interview went well!????????????????
Good luck with the interview! ????
Fingers crossed for you —
Enjoying early morning dabs (okay, drenching from a mini) of Cristalle edp. It’s gorgeous where I am – warm, sunny, clear skies – and Cristalle smells unusually smooth.
You smell great! I rarely reach for that anymore, though not sure why.
Hope you’re hanging in there today…
I am not a good traveler and bought a return flight home that I knew was going to be problematic. I woke up yesterday with massive anxiety about it and by the evening was able to change my flight to one that’s much less stress-inducing. But it was a long day of prolonged anxiety waiting to make the change because I had to coordinate with multiple people before doing so.
Took some triazolam last night, hooked up my TENS machine, ate some chocolate, and slept well. Feeling much better than I have since I got to Canada over a week ago, so things are good.
Wow. I hope it works out un the end. What it takes to feel good, lol. Glad you’re feeling better today ????
Hmmm. I will need to e-mail you about this TENS machine. I just looked it up and am intrigued but skeptical, so I’d like to hear about your experience.
Best $35 I’ve ever spent.
You smell great.
Commando for now because I have a doctor appointment at noon. But I got my Hyrax and Moth samples from Zoologist yesterday, so I’ll probably put on Moth after I get home. I tried them out last night (one on the back of each hand), and I think I love them both.
I tried Moth on Sunday. Huzzah! That’s some potent stuff, thinking about a travel atomizer.
I gotta get on the Zoologist samples! They sound to intriguing!
They’re doing some good stuff! I think they might be one of my favorite brands right now. I don’t like all of their fragrances, but I do like a lot of them.
There’s something about Zoologist scents that I find enchanting and completely unlike any others. It’s more than just the animal names: I feel as if I’m spraying myself with something alive, a companion with a soul and character. I suppose that sounds bizarre, but they are the only perfumes that seem to share themselves with me.
I love Moth and already ordered a bottle, but I found Hyrax pretty appalling. I’ll be very interested to see what you say after a longer exposure.
I already knew going into it that I like hyraceum (I have a small bottle of the real stuff that I got from Mandy Aftel’s site), so I wasn’t worried about it. My skin also seems to tamp down animalic notes a bit, so I can see how it could go very wrong.
Good luck with your doctor appt!
Thanks! It went really well.
WI’m in Amouage Memoir W this morning. It has settled into a really lovely gentle incense. Not sure I’ll need a full bottle, but I’m enjoying it this morning.
I’m ????
I love that one. I can only wear it in cold weather, but I adore it.
Ya, I’ve never worn it outside of deep winter.
There’s no deep winter where I live, but a couple of wrist spritzes are nice on a coolish morning. Not enough to overwhelm, anyway. I’ll have to make sure to take it on a cold weather trip to see how it changes in those conditions.
I would love to smell it on someone else. I’ve only ever smelled it on myself.
The Noir 29 edp. Sprayed some last night, have not worn it in awhile. It was super oily on my skin. I shook it up this morning before I sprayed.
That LL is really nice.
Lovely day here, sunny and heading for 80F. Neighbor’s goats are down near the fence and driving my doggle nuts because he can’t reach them!
I’m wearing miscellaneous sprays from various bottles that I have made up my mind to sell on the blog, including vintage Chamade, Ostara, Deneuve, Vanilla Tonka and 24, Faubourg. I smell like the fragrance department of a large store.
Not that it’s a bad thing.
I love 24 Faubourg (and the other scents as well), you smell fantastic!
wow..that is a lot of sprays! Go big or go home!
Smelling awesome haha!
SOTD is Le Labo’s Iris 39, musk, iris and patchouli.
You smell awesome!
You and Hajusuuri smell terrific!
Twins!!!!
Joining in late with my SOTE, Iris 39….the oil version. I will get the perfume some time down the road.
I’ve been using it quite regularly after work lately as the scent is pretty calming to me. It’s been a stressful week+ so far learning and training; it may be my SOTW.
MDCI Rose de Siwa today. I smell green and white with this one so it matches my green and white blouse today. Some days that’s my only criteria with scent selection. Plus, it smells darned pretty.
That one is allll pink for me. It smells so much like my beloved Sarah Bernhardt peonies (which do have a rosy facet). You smell wonderful!!
Thanks! It smells somewhat similar to Floris White Rose to me, but with greener facets so maybe that’s where I get the white connection?
Oh, could be. I haven’t tried the Floris.
You’re allowed to have whatever synesthesia you like! I won’t tell you you’re wrong.
Following up on your question yesterday about my favorite Blackbird incense: well I was shocked to visit their website and see they now only offer 10 scents. I think they had about 20 before. I only have 3 of the ones they currently offer but I have tried some others when I worked there. At home I have and enjoy Lone (formerly Lonewa), Targa, and Tilde. Tilde reminds me of Coven, so that may be up your alley. I also like Izba and Ai. I’m really curious to try Malus. And I also need to try the two that you have.
Thanks! They also have new packaging which is much nicer than the old tins. Annoyingly, the sampler has some of the d/c’d ones (though Amazon has some of the dced ones). I think Mars is the new name for Blood Countess, which I like a lot. I haven’t tried Tilde yet. Can’t remember if I tried Targa either yet.
Its all pink for me too but either way, you smell beautiful!
Ha! I’m definitely outnumbered ???? Thanks!
Next time I wear RdS, I will pay attention and see if any color comes to mind for it.
Yes! Please report back.
I’m in Tocca Colette today, which you all know I just love. There is musk in the base. It’s so cozy. I only have a splash mini, but I’m going to have to get a FB when this one is gone.
The 20 ml bottles are so cute, too.
Happy Wednesday!
1) Am in L’ombre dans l’eau (from a sample). Perfect for this rather humid day. Musk is there but only as a fixative note- this is fresh and green.
2) My goodness, is it ever humid today. Am treating myself to homemade cold brew coffee with coconut milk and honey- that SHOULD keep me going!
I’m reading this at work (because today’s post wasn’t up before I had to leave home this morning) and was just thinking that it was becoming a bit hot and sticky, even inside the office (which is in the next zip code over from you) … and ran across this. YES, humid. Ugh.
I figured it was going to be one of those days today, so went with numero dix-neuf* and yep, I was right. Oh boy, was I right.
Fortunately it’s ended up with me sitting on the kitchen floor at work laughing slightly hysterically at the absurdity of clients rather than increasing the dent on my forehead by banging it against the desk. But it was deffo a day that is made better with vintage No.19 extrait.
*frenchifying my naming as penance for being rude about spelling yesterday
No. 19 is perfect for Those Days.
C’est si bon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsPon0V1nyQ
A bit of inspiration for a new line of work
Merci bien. A little bit of Eartha Kitt before breakfast has set me up nicely for the day!
Aerin Amber Musk, courtesy of a very kind NSTer. Got a compliment from DH.
I wanted to like this, but there is something in the Aerin DNA that dislikes my skin.
I have very bad luck with most Estee Lauders. Haven’t tried any Aerin scents because of that fact.
I think the Aerins are pretty removed from the ELs scent/base wise.
I wore it Yesterday and loved it, Coconuty, and creamy, rose and sweet dry down! my decant is almost completely gone!
That is a pretty perfume!My favorite from Aerin is Iris Meadow.
What beautiful irises!
I was going to wear Cafe Tuberosa from my lovely, new set of 4-mL Atelier Cologne travel sprays, but I was unsuccessful in prising out the bottle from the box after about two minutes of effort, so I gave up and went with a different Atelier: the one of Ors, in Cuir Sacre. I smell incredible, if I do say so myself. My inability to take out the Cafe Tuberosa bottle was kind of an inauspicious start to what I am expecting to be a difficult day, but hopefully the fact that I now smell amazing means the day won’t be too bad!
Hope things get easier! I’ve had similar struggles trying to pry caps off of sample vials
I’ve had that same issue with lip balms not wanting to come out of their display box. I ended up using a plastic butter knife to gently pry them out.
Wearing POTL today for a an of in-between weather kind of day. It’s about 70 degrees out and cloudy. It might rain, but then again it might not!
POTL doesn’t get much attention these days, but it’s still a really good scent.
SOTD = Le Labo Iris 39
This and Iris Silver Mist were my first perfume purchases from Barney’s when I first fell into the rabbit hole. Back then, it took me 2-3 trips plus a sample decant of ISM for me to decide to get these. I look back and think that it’s probably the most rational path to decision making but my brain craves the satisfaction of instant gratification. Sounds like the true confessions of a perfume addict.
Yummy Iris,that Le Labo.Loving the showergel also
I’m on my second bottle of the shower gel. If there is a Donatella of shower gels, I have a long list to confess.
Sounds like iris was your first perfume love.
True dat
Love Iris 39 and like ISM.
It seems I’m getting less patient with perfume purchases as well. But I keep telling myself that it’s because these days I know my preferences better
I feel lavish in Pirouette Essentials Rose Musk. It’s rich and sultry, and the best part is that it comes in 15ml and is affordable. I’m not affiliated, but I do love to promote good brands that are local to me. The brand owner is super nice too on the occasions I’ve spoken with her. Their Jasmine Musk and Moss Garden are also beautiful. These are billed as 100% natural perfumes but Rose Musk is really long lasting on me.
Le sigh. Another lemming!
Let me send you a little of each! Email me.
Commando all morn because of routine ck-ups with DR. & dentist. Both offices have ” perfume police”, don’t get me started. Just put on Flowerbomb from rollerball. Don’t think it is a keeper, but not a scrubber. Gorgeous weather!
You shoulda flowerbombed them all
Went poking through my samples for something I haven’t yet tried. I must have inherited this one from an NSTer–Laudano Nero. Turned out to be perfect for the grey day… warm booze and spicy amber . . . and some musk too. Loving it right now.
I’ve got a bit of that and it’s nice stuff.
Oh yay! That was me. ????
Oh thank you! It is very similar to my Incense by Terveer, but I might actually like it slightly more… more interesting drydown. Very stressful work day, and the scent cheered me up!
I’m so glad to hear it. It is a nice one. I need to wear my little mini Terveer Incense one of these days.
Wearing Van Cleef & Arpels, Bois D’Iris and since it only lasted 4 hours on me today, now I’ve strayed and layered it with some Eau Des Merveilles and I’m really loving it… and got 2 very nice compliments at the office.
You smelled FABULOUS
Do you think it’s the layering combo that worked or EdM by itself?
I generally layer about 2- 4 similar or not! perfumes during the day! soon as I stop smelling them..lol
I do love and enjoy layering them.
ooh, that does sound nice.
I’m in Vol de Nuit extrait today – I needed the comforting complexity of it.
I hope it worked!
My “one spray of each thing I’m trying to find a new home for” SOTD is going to have to go. The CEO is taking me out to dinner as a celebration of our 26th anniversary, so I figure I ought to be coherent with my scent.
May be time to get out my little decant of Guerlain Floral Romantique, which I know he really likes.
Nice!
Happy Anniversary Mals!
Wow, 26! Happy Anniversary Mals!
Happy Anniversary!. Enjoy your night out!
Enjoy!
Happy anniversary, enjoy!
Happy 26th anniversary Mals! May you have many more! ????
Happy Anniversary, mals!
Happy anniversary!
Many happy returns of the day! Hope you have a lovely evening.
Happiest of anniversaries to you and the CEO!
SOTD Lush Orange Blossom.Trying my darndest to finish this little black bottle since 2010!Lol.Makes me long for Spring days and picnics.
I think I gave up on mine and it was an itty-bitty pencil type 9mL atomizer!
SotD is Fat electrician, from a sample.
It smells so good in warm weather!
Glad you have warm weather…now you can sport you red shoes
I decided that Far Electrician was full bottle worthy. It’s probably my favorite vetiver.
Drat! That should be “Fat Electrician”, not “Far”! Derp.
But now I want a bottle of Far Electrician even more than Fat Electrician
I like it, too. I got a scentbird size – I think they’re 8 ml, which is a FB for me
I’m out of town but it should be waiting for me when I get back home.
My perfume collection is pretty short on musks. So I didn’t put on any scent and went out to get my hair cut and then over to the nice store with a lot of indie lines or niche scents and browsed. I tried the ELDO Faun fragrance on paper and didn’t think much of it. Then I found Bal Musque by Nez a Nez (on sale for 40% off) and sprayed it on liberally. I thought, well, if I like it, I can buy it and it’s a good price. However, I feel a bit indifferent about it. I’m getting musk along with some powdery florals and a bit of something creamy. I’m not an expert on this sub-genre or note but MKK would still top my list. The only problem is that two people I trust have both told me that it smells distinctly like unwashed body on me when I try to wear it. Sigh.
Eeek, unwashed body scent makes me cringe!
And ain’t meant to mention that I thought Yankee Candle sold an Unwashed Linen candle until my curiosity got the better of me – I wanted to smell what was good about this that Yankee Candle would bottle it. I approached the candle with trepidation and laughed at myself because I was looking at the name at an angle and missed the “S” at the beginning of the name ????
LOL!
????
:)))
Gorgeous irises in the photo today, Robin! Hope that things are all right for you.
SOTD = JHAG Mad Madame, from the sample stash. This is pretty pink roses and musk. Also sort of a comfort scent, which I was in the mood for.
Tune of the day = Song and Emotion, from Tesla. It’s been going thru my head for the past couple of days. So I figure I just ought to roll with it (or in this case, rock with it).
Agree that THAT rose smells pink ????
I think the only way to exorcise an earworm is to play it and sing at the top of your lungs.
Playing a song on YouTube a few times can work for me sometimes.
Thank you Jalapeno!
It’s been one of those days, and I needed to calm down, so I’m wearing Commes des Garcons Kyoto today, one of my favorite incense perfumes. It does work to help me keep it together on days when I could just flip out about everything. Not musky but just what I need.
You smell nice!
I hope that tomorrow is a better day.
You smell good!
